5ed parkers encyclopedia of kenpo  Dec 15, 2009
it is a great book for improving you knowlgments ok kenpo karate. totaly usefull for the meaning and vocabulary of the kenpo language. Its not book to read for like a story or something, only content its kenpo terms. totaly recomend for beginers and more advanced students, even a good encyclopedia to have at your kenpo dojo

3Informative  Oct 03, 2009
It's a very Informative book. I would have liked to have seen some definitions of The actual Kenpo Moves with a breakdown of the belt system however.
I'm pretty new to Kenpo (still a white belt) and the thing I find hardest to remember is the names of some of the moves. A more detailed explanation of them and how they were named was kind of why I bought the book, yet it's pretty much the only thing NOT in there.
Not that I don't like the book, I just wish it was more suited to my needs.

3Book of definitions  Aug 16, 2008
This is really a dictionary of kenpo. Well written but it is literally an alphabetical list of terms and their definitions. I was hoping for something that would explain the techniques.

4Glossary of Kenpo  Jun 12, 2008
Classic Ed Parker. The book is an convenient reference and seems comprehensive. If you are trying to get more familiar with American Kenpo terminology this is the book to get. But you should read the "Ed Parker's Infinite Insights into Kenpo" series first and use this one as a supplement.

5A must for all Kenpo students  Sep 18, 2001
If you are, or want to be, a kenpo karate student this encyclopedia is a must. It goes over all the terminology that is needed throughout your training. Written by Edmund K. Parker, the founder of American Kenpo Karate, a great man and well respected martial artist.
